There is a lot about the movie business that we are learning as we go through this process. We signed with an international sales agent and watching them sell the movie to overseas markets is eye opening.

They use different titles to attract different buyers from various territories… THE MISADVENTURES OF BEN BANKS and BEAUTY AND THE LEAST – it’s weird to watch. I mean I’m expecting to see the movie called SMOKING HIGH MAN FINDS LOVE…

No I’m kidding!

We’ve had to let go a little bit as first time filmmakers – but not one frame of the movie has been touched. It is the movie I made. It’s the movie I wanted to make. It’s just being packaged and sold in a way that is in line with what attracts foreign buyers. And I get that. Usually this happens after a movie’s North American presence has been established, but we’re doing it in reverse (as I guess more and more indie movies are doing)

It is cool to see the movie getting out there…

GENRE: Romantic Comedy

CAST: Mischa Barton (TV’s: THE OC)

SYNOPSIS: When they say “love is blind,” they must have been talking about Amy and Ben. Amy (Mischa Barton, TV’s “The O.C.”, “Apartment 1303 3D”) is a beautiful young woman with a mysterious past. Ben (Ben Banks) is a scruffy slacker, whose only ambition seems to be avoiding growing up. However, Amy seems something in Ben that Ben doesn’t see in himself, which gives Ben the confidence to make something of his life. The power of love (and a beautiful girl!) shows Ben that being a grown-up isn’t such a bad thing after all.

According to IMDb, Offline is scheduled to screen in March 2012 so if that date is accurate, we should have a trailer come out pretty soon.

And while I’m on the topic of Facebook, I’ve started a page of Mischa-B.com so go on and visit I’m one of the few people left in the world who has previously never used Facebook, so you’ll have to bare with me while I learn to use it properly for updates.

Twitter hashtag if you’d like to wish Mischa a happy birthday:

#happybdaymbarton

It looks like 2012 could be the year of Mischa Barton’s comeback, and I’ll be the first to say, “Finally!” Ever since I watched Fox’s The O.C., I’ve envied Barton’s ability to wear cute, casual looks without treading into adolescent territory. “When I was younger, I tended to dress much more sophisticated than the average teen since I was fortunate enough to have some of the world’s top designers willing to dress me,” said Barton.“I’ve become a bit more playful in my style as I’ve matured.”

The British-born actress has flown under the radar for the past few years, but little did we know that Barton has been expanding on her eponymous handbag line that she launched last fall. “Accessorizing has always been my favorite means of sprucing up an ensemble, which is one of the reasons I’ve launched my own handbag line,” said Barton. “It’ll culminate in my own boutique in London this spring that also includes clothes and make-up”

Barton is also wrapping up two new films, “I Will Follow You Into The Dark” and “Apartment 1303 3D”, so she admits she hasn’t had time to plan for her 26th birthday this Tuesday. “I haven’t put much thought into how I’ll celebrate, but I imagine it will be with a close-knit party of family and friends. Each year, people approach me with fantastic getaways or Vegas experiences, which can surely be fun,” said Barton. “But for me, it’s more about who I’m celebrating with rather than how or where, so I tend to prefer a low-key dinner at a favorite restaurant.”

While Barton celebrates her birthday, we asked her to share her thoughts on a few outfits from the past nine years. Check out her commentary in the captions, and tell us, which look is your favorite?

Also, make sure to follow Mischa’s Place on Twitter and check out the Facebook page. Hopefully this extended step into branding will be as successful for Mischa as her handbag collection has been.

And I think I see some shoes on the front page of the website, so I wonder if that means there is a shoe collection on the horizon?

I’m sure I speak for all the fans by saying that I’m very proud of Mischa with this huge move she’s made. She must be thrilled and it seems like Mischa has a great team behind her, supporting the brand all the way!

BTW, the video is not NSFW as there is some swearing.
